Seller Questions:
-
Which resources can be used with the TpT Digital Activities tool?
Currently, single PDF resources that Sellers have opted into the TpT Digital Activity tool can be utilized. We will look into allowing additional file types in the future. As a Seller, if you have a ZIP file for a resource, we suggest creating smaller resource listings and bundling them instead. Then Buyers will be able to use the Digital Tool with the individual PDFs themselves.
-
Can I opt out or disable products from the TpT Digital Activities tool?
Once you choose to opt in your resources for the TpT Digital Activities tool, you and your Buyers will be able to add an interactive layer on top of your existing PDF resources to create interactive TpT Digital Activities that students can complete on a device.
-
To disable any PDF resources from the Digital Activites tool:
-
Open the 'My TpT Listings' tab in the Digital Activites tool
-
Click on the three dots adjacent to the 'Create Activity' button
-
Click 'Opt out of TpT Digital' for the resources you that you don't want available to be used as a TpT Digital Activity
-
Once you've opted out a resource, the resource will no longer be available for future Buyers to use as a TpT Digital Activity. Existing Buyers will still be able to access any activities they have already created.
If you decide to opt the resource back in, you can do so by clicking 'Opt in' on the same page.
-
I updated the original PDF file. What happens to the TpT Digital Activity portion of this resource?
After you update the PDF file for one of your products, our system will need a few hours to process the updated PDF file. Once it’s processed, you’ll then be able to import the updated pages into the Digital Activity. To do this:

Find the product you updated, and click on the title
-

Click 'Import from original’ on the right-hand side

Buyers will then have access to the updated pages in the Digital Activity tool.

Some of my products are missing from the TpT Digital Activities tool, why is that?
The TpT Digital Activities tool only currently supports resources with a single PDF file included. Resources that are other file types, compressed in ZIP files, or have the ‘Google Apps’ tag can’t be used in this new tool.
